Item Name: Qi Jiguang

Item Type: Protected Cruiser of the First Rank

Item introduction: The level is higher than the light cruiser and lower than the armored cruiser, also known as the semi-armored ship, the ship was originally the Tsarist Russian first-class protection cruiser "Renda", and is now purchased by the alien and named Qi Jiguang

Item Attributes: Combat power 187

Firepower: 45

Armor: 48

Speed: 24 knots

Controls: 70

Side Skill: Break Friendship (Passive Skill), this ship increases its combat power by 10% when used to destroy enemy lines of communication

On the deck, Bai Hu Demon looked at Qi Jiguang's attributes happily, this cruiser was bought in the name of Chen Hao, and now Bai Hu Demon is the person in charge of this cruiser, so he can check all the attributes of the cruiser.

The combat effectiveness of a ship in the game mainly depends on the four attributes, and the sum of the four attributes is the combat effectiveness of the cruiser, but combat effectiveness is not the only criterion for measuring the strength of a ship. Among the four attributes of a ship, firepower determines the offensive ability of the ship, armor determines the defensive capability of the ship, speed determines the maneuverability of the ship, and control is the comprehensive improvement of the ship.

Firepower, armor, and speed are all the performance of the ship after leaving the factory, and these three attributes will not change in a short period of time, only the control will change at any time. The handling attribute depends on the quality of the ship's officers and men, and if the naval officers and men who control the ship are 100% qualified for each position, the handling attribute is 100.

Qi Jiguang has not yet completed the delivery, and now it is the officers and sailors of the Russian Navy who control this ship, so the control attribute is only 70. In this era, the quality of both the Russian army and the navy is not strong, and the control attribute is not high, and most of the ships of the British Navy are above 90.

Although the quality of the Russian Navy is not high, it is much better than the half-hung navy of the Yingkou Naval Academy. Most of the post-delivery controls are not even 50. Chen Hao had already been mentally prepared for this, and he bought this protective cruiser mainly as a training ship to train talents and prepare for the establishment of a navy in the future, and he did not expect Qi Jiguang to have strong combat effectiveness.

Although the Russian protective cruiser has not been in service for a long time, it is impossible to use it as a capital battleship in the future, which is determined by the nature of the protective cruiser. Due to the armor protection. Protective cruisers are more survivable against other light cruisers. It can be used for fleet escort, breaking, counter-breaking, etc., but the firepower is greatly limited.

The famous cruiser "Zhiyuan" of the Beiyang Naval Division of the Qing Dynasty belonged to the protective cruisers. Protective cruisers were all the rage, but with the birth of battle cruisers, this type of ship, which had no advantage in speed and firepower, withdrew from the stage of history along with armored cruisers.

After learning that Chen Hao was going to buy a protective cruiser, Bai Hu looked up a lot of information on the Internet and knew that the battle cruiser would appear in the next few years. Protective cruisers will become obsolete. Even so, looking at the Qi Jiguang in front of him, he was still excited, no matter what, this is the first warship that the player has obtained in the game, which is of great significance.

After Qi Jiguang arrived at Yingkou Pier, Wu Peifu and Yang Du held a grand handover ceremony, with a large number of players and NPCs waiting. Wu Peifu took 200 cadets to the Qi Jiguang and quickly completed the handover with the Russian Navy, but another task given to him by Chen Hao was not completed.

White demon when negotiating with Russia. Chen Hao asked him to try to hire some Russian naval officers, so that the Russian officers could guide the cadets of the Sailor Academy to familiarize themselves with Qi Jiguang as soon as possible. During the negotiations, Muratyev was noncommittal. He said that if the Russian officers and soldiers were willing to instruct him at the Yingkou, he would not interfere, and if he was unwilling, he would not force it.

Because he was determined to win the cruiser, in order to avoid a long night's dream, he signed it and prepared to wait for Qi Jiguang to arrive at Yingkou and then negotiate with the Russian naval officers and soldiers. After the handover, Wu Peifu hosted a banquet for the officers and men of the Russian navy, and when he offered to hire these officers for a period of time, all the officers refused.

Wu Peifu raised the employment price to 300 taels of silver a month. But all the officers refused, and he learned the truth only after privately bribing a major. It turned out that Muratyev was anxious to sell warships to make black money, for fear that he would directly refuse to do business and make trouble, so he did not interfere on the surface, but privately ordered the Russian officers and soldiers not to allow anyone to teach the Chinese to operate warships.

It is also normal for Muratyev to give this order. Russia has great ambitions for the Northeast and certainly does not want to make its rivals strong. Muratyev thought that even if Yingkou had one more warship, it would not be a threat, but if he assisted Yingkou in cultivating talents, it was likely that Yingkou would build a navy in the future, and he would not be able to give an account to the Tsar.

Wu Peifu had no choice but to give up, and after sending off the Russian naval officers and soldiers, he walked up to Qi Jiguang to check. Because the students of the Yingkou Naval Master Academy do not have any actual combat experience, the time to learn is far from enough, and the control attribute of the warship controlled by them is only a pitiful 42 points.

42 points of control can not form combat effectiveness at all, even if you sail a warship far away, accidents may occur, and the navy still has a long way to go. Despite the many unsatisfactory circumstances, Wu Peifu still instructed the cadets on the warship to be more energetic, because a large number of aborigines and aliens gathered on the dock, including many reporters.

It is also important for one side to increase its popularity, and the fame of the base area will increase, and attributes such as business index will also increase. The first warship in China was a good publicity opportunity, and not many people knew about the warship when it docked at Yingkou Wharf, so it was the focus of propaganda after taking over the warship.

The 200 cadets stood on the deck in blue navy uniforms, all cautious and vigorous, looking very imposing. Wu Peifu walked off the deck and waved to the crowd of onlookers, the NPCs on the dock applauded desperately, and reporters from all over the world came to Wu Peifu under the guidance of the guards.

"Lord Wu, how much did you spend on this warship?"

"Lord Wu, will this be the only warship that Yingkou bought, or will more be added in the future?"

Wu Peifu smiled and answered the reporters' questions, standing in front of them were all NPC reporters, and the player reporters were in the back. Wang Ying was also in the crowd, and after learning that Yingkou had purchased a cruiser, she knew that it was Chen Hao's masterpiece, so she rushed over as soon as possible.

After the NPC reporter asked the question, Wu Peifu smiled at her for the first time and said, "Miss Wang Ying, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Chen Hao and Wu Peifu were interviewed by Wang Ying during the bloody battle in the Northeast, so they are acquaintances, and Wu Peifu knows that she is her own person. After he opened his mouth to ask, Wang Ying quickly received a system prompt: "Player Wang Ying, you have obtained the opportunity to interview Wu Peifu and triggered the interview task." Quest completion conditions: Interview Wu Peifu and write the interview script, after the article is published, your article will increase or decrease the reputation of Yingkou by 3 points. Reward: Culture +1"

Wang Ying is not surprised that every time she has the opportunity to cover a sensational event, she will trigger the interview task, and then increase the impact of the event by writing the manuscript. With her relationship with Chen Hao, of course she will not make negative reports, and to complete the task, she needs to write brilliantly, so that the system can judge that her article has increased Yingkou's prestige by 3 points.

When Wang Ying was about to step forward, a woman rushed in front of her and walked in front of Wu Peifu, who seemed to be also a player.

This is a beautiful girl, she wears a ponytail, a beautiful goose egg face, and her legs are slender and straight, and she looks very charming. She smiled and said, "Lord Wu, I am also a media reporter, why do you only accept interviews with Huaxia Daily and not our Ta Kung Pao?" ”

Wang Ying suddenly realized that this girl turned out to be a reporter from Ta Kung Pao, no wonder she was so eager to grab the news. There are not many player reporters in the game, and even fewer are influential, and Wang Ying is one of the best. A few days ago, "Ta Kung Pao" was launched in Tianjing, and it was rumored that a female player became one of the participants, and it is estimated that it is the girl in front of her.

Wu Peifu couldn't help frowning when he saw that this girl had grabbed Wang Ying's front, because Chen Hao had told him that he would only accept interviews with Wang Ying, a player reporter. This vigorous publicity is to increase the popularity of Yingkou, and it is not good for Yingkou to encounter hostile player reporters to make negative reports.

The corners of the beautiful girl's mouth turned up slightly, she had already thought about what question to ask, Yingkou only bought a warship and could not form combat effectiveness, and there was a suspicion of grandstanding in doing so. If Wu Peifu claimed that Yingkou was going to buy more warships, Ren Xiaoying was more happy, and a local force openly wanted to build a fleet, could those Manchu nobles not be afraid?

Ren Xiaoying was about to ask a question, but saw Wu Peifu give a military salute to all the reporters present and said: "Everyone, this official has a lot of affairs, and it is impossible to accept exclusive interviews with all reporters, I am really sorry." When I was fighting the Russians in Northeast China, Miss Wang Ying of the "Huaxia Daily" interviewed me, so I only accepted an exclusive interview with Miss Wang. ”

After Wu Peifu finished speaking, he said lightly to Ren Xiaoying: "The contemptible people of Ta Kung Pao have never heard of it, because some newspapers often propagate and mobilize ideas, and contemptible people dare not accept interviews with such newspapers, I am really sorry. ”

"Player Ren Xiaoying, because Wu Peifu rejected your interview request, your interview mission failed."

Ren Xiaoying was stunned, she had already figured out how to write the script, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't even have the opportunity to interview. She was about to mess around, but when she saw two guards coming quietly, she had to retreat unwillingly.

Ren Xiaoying stomped her feet in anger, and she quit the game angrily, still with anger on her face. Walking to the living room, a handsome young man smiled and said, "Xiaoying, aren't you excited to become a reporter in the game these days?" Who you off? ”

Ren Xiaoying said angrily: "Brother, that Chen Baxian is really hateful, and none of his subordinates have any good things." Seeing that many people on the forum posted that you are not as good as Chen Baxian, I wanted to cover the warship incident in Yingkou to vent your anger, but I didn't expect Wu Peifu to accept my interview. ”

Xuanyuan Jian shook his head with a wry smile and said, "What do you care what others say!" Chen Ba was very powerful first, I calmed down and figured it out, there is no need to deal with him now, don't target him anymore. ”

Ren Xiaoying snorted coldly and said, "Brother, you said that Wu Peifu is Chen Baxian's person, so this account has to be recorded on his head, and Miss Ben must find a place to go." (To be continued......)
